What is causing this delay, though?
Some of the stations are completely excavated already, like King-Bathurst. Tunnel-boring usually moves fairly quickly unless it gets stuck, as did the Line 2 extension TBM.
The only known reason for a delay seems to be the Queen connection reconfiguration...
I've been on many streetcars that were behind schedule (as they often are) that did this. Especially the 511. It almost seems like the drivers are brake-checking the vehicle behind them, or it's as if they're scared to hit the speed limit of the road. So yeah I think the TTC is idiotic for this...
I thought that the TTC putting up maps with line 5 on them meant it was a couple weeks from opening. If it's really not opening for a couple months+, then that was a really dumb move.
Once Doug Ford is gone, how many more of his fugly Ford spawn will be left to mess with Toronto politics? Feels like this city and province is cursed because of them.
